Parking mode improvements.
Removed requirement for external encoder for spindle sync if stepper spindle is enabled.
Improved handling of $680 stepper enable delay.
Added ADC/DAC resolution to $pinstate command, changed reported values to integer for ADC/DAC devices and float formatted for PWM devices.
Numeric settings can now be set via G65P1Q<n>S<value>, <n> is the setting number, <value> is the new value.
Changed alarm code for Modbus exceptions (communication errors) from 14 to 19.
Refactored MPG stream code to allow plugins to hook into MPG streams (via event handler).
Added _free memory system parameter, returns value in KBytes or -1 if not available from driver.
Changed basic stream data type from char to uint8_t, added HAL function and core API for releasing/closing UART streams.
Moved probe signal handling from drivers to the core, improved handling of probe disconnected signal.
NOTE: The changes above are quite large, please verify probe operation after installation.
Some minor bug fixes such as incorrect error code returned for unknown $-commands and temporary incorrect position reporting on in-flight G92 offset changes.
For programmers: added grbl.on_control_signals_changed event, fired on some signals: optional stop, single step, block delete and cycle start.
Fix for incorrect handling of arcs when negative scaling is enabled with G51.
Moved inbuilt G65 macros to the core and added macro G65P5Q<n> for selecting probe.
Added probe id to real time report: |P:<n> will be reported on probe select when more than one probe is available.
Fix for WCO and Ov real time status report elements not beeing reported as they should in some circumstances.
Added G30 as optional position for tool change.
Moved new tool change mode from PR#673 to $346 - Tool change options.
Moved Modbus RTU code from spindle plugin to the core.
Fixed bug in delayed task handler, might occasionally hang the controller.
these instead of calling via hal.port functions or accessing hal.port properties.
Improved the ioports API, updated core code to make use of it.
Flagged some calls and (part of) some stuctures as deprecated.
Added HAL parameter for minimum step pulse length set by driver, used for validation of $0 setting.
Changed HAL API signature for outputting step pulses, optimized to allow drivers to only change direction outputs when there is an actual direction change.
Improved handling of overrides at end of program when all motion is buffered. Possible fix for issue #714.
Some optimizations to allow higher step rates.
Changed signature of vfs.on_mount() event.
Added grbl.on_cycle_start() event, fired on cycle start signal asserted or on cycle start real time command received.
Added setting $676 with flags to control soft reset actions. See the changelog for details.
Workaround for Microsoft C adding a non-standard reserved keyword...
Improved handling of stop realtime command (0x19) for faster motion halt without losing position.
Optimized RAM usage. Fixed regression related to losing current coordinate system and tool offset over a stop.
Added code guards in order to free some memory for STM32F103 variants with 128K flash.
Changed Stop (0x19) real-time command behaviour, active tool offset and coordinate system will now be kept. Ref. issue #610.
Fixed incorrect comment string passed to passed to grbl.on_gcode_comment event.
Added generic redirector for temporarily changing input stream to read from a file. Supports nesting.
Fixed incorrect handling of G65 call parameters, axis words had offsets added. Ref. issue #594.
Refactored handling of multiple spindles. There are still some limitations but should work better now. Disabled override delays for now, needs investigation. Ref. issue #598.
NOTE: Please report any erratic behaviour after installing this version since it is a rather major change.
Added experimental support of LinuxCNC style subroutines.
Available for gcode run from local filesystem such as on a SD card or in littlefs.
Improved handling of G92 when G92 offset is changed while motion is ongoing. Ref. issue #241.
Fix for issue #521, crash when running G65 macro on ESP32.
"Hardened" stream switching code, likely fix for discussion #456.
Hide related settings when no spindle and/or coolant outputs are available. From PR #479.
Fixed typo related to Modbus direction signal. Ref. issue #478.
Fixed typo in handling of aux output port settings. Ref issue #476.
Fix for unable to set $484 to 0, issue #466.
Added setting $673 for setting coolant on delay after feedhold. Available when safety door handling is not enabled.
Fixed obscure bug carried over from legacy Grbl related to this. Issue #467.
Enabled setting $394 for spindle on delay after feedhold. Available when safety door handling is not enabled.
The change is major and potentially dangerous, it may damage your probe, so please verify correct operation after installing.
Fix for STM32F4xx issue 161, Ethernet connection unresponsive if USB port not powered.
Enhanced ioPorts interface: New debounce option for input pins that are interrupt capable, currently only possible to enable via plugin code - later to be made available via a $-setting.
Added some wrapper functions for simpler plugin code++
Added simple task scheduler to the core, allows interrupt routines to dispatch jobs to the foreground process, delayed tasks and repeating tasks attached to the 1 ms system timer.
Some drivers and plugins now uses the scheduler for input pin debouncing, regular polling etc. The core uses it for stepper disabling and sleep monitoring.
Moved RGB API definitions to separate file and added some utilities for drivers and plugins. Fixed minor bug.
stream_open_instance(), signature change - added optional description string.
Added 5s timeout/abort handling when waiting for index pulses prior to startiong spindle synchronized motion.
Added definitions for M401 (deploy probe) and M402 (stow probe) for plugin use.
Added support for probe protected message and alarm. Requires driver support for interrupt handled probe input.
Added spindle type property to HAL, "hardened" code.
Added new setting $346 for action to take after tool change: either return controlled point (tool tip) back to the same position as before the M6 command (default) or move spindle to Z home.
